Sirach 14:1–27 NABRE
Happy those whose mouth causes them no grief, those who are not stung by remorse for sin. Happy are those whose conscience does not reproach them, those who have not lost hope. Wealth is not appropriate for the mean-spirited; to misers, what use is gold? What they deny themselves they collect for someone else, and strangers will live sumptuously on their possessions. To whom will they be generous that are stingy with themselves and do not enjoy what is their own? None are worse than those who are stingy with themselves; they punish their own avarice. If ever they do good, it is by mistake; in the end they reveal their meanness. Misers are evil people, they turn away and disregard others. The greedy see their share as not enough; greedy injustice dries up the soul. The eye of the miserly is rapacious for food, but there is none of it on their own table. My son, if you have the means, treat yourself well, and enjoy life as best you can. Remember that death does not delay, and you have not been told the grave’s appointed time. Before you die, be good to your friends; give them a share in what you possess. Do not deprive yourself of good things now or let a choice portion escape you. Will you not leave your riches to others, and your earnings to be divided by lot? Give and take, treat yourself well, for in Sheol there are no joys to seek. All flesh grows old like a garment; the age-old law is: everyone must die. As with the leaves growing on a luxuriant tree— one falls off and another sprouts— So with the generations of flesh and blood: one dies and another flourishes. All human deeds surely perish; the works they do follow after them. Happy those who meditate on Wisdom, and fix their gaze on knowledge; Who ponder her ways in their heart, and understand her paths; Who pursue her like a scout, and watch at her entry way; Who peep through her windows, and listen at her doors; Who encamp near her house and fasten their tent pegs next to her walls; Who pitch their tent beside her, and dwell in a good place; Who build their nest in her leaves, and lodge in her branches; Who take refuge from the heat in her shade and dwell in her home.
Sermon Notes 20250126 Sir 14:1-27
Book of Wisdom of Yeshua Ben Sirach (Ben Sira)
#Sermon #Amen #Love #Christian #VictoryinJesus
  New American Bible, Revised Edition. (Washington, DC: The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, 2011), Sir 1
Do you share Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge in all manner of workmanship, that all may experience THEOPHILUS?
Revelation From God
 
Author
 
The author of Sirach is self identified in Sirach 50:27 "Instruction in understanding and knowledge I have written in this book, Jesus son of Eleazar son of Sirach of Jerusalem, whose mind poured forth wisdom." But most know him by his common name as Ben Sira. His grandson transcribes the book from Hebrews to Greek.
 
Date
 
Sirach is believed to be oral tradition of more than 30 years that the Grandson son transcribes. The original work by Ben Sira is believed to be completed around 180BC and the Grandson completing the transcription around 132 BC.
 
Structure
 
Sirach is written in several literary forms including proverbs, hymns, prayers, and teaching narratives, (almost like a parable). We must keep these in mind when reading through Sirach.
 
We must also keep in mind that the text takes a gendered, heterosexual perspective regarding the acquisition and benefits of wisdom, which is feminine both in Hebrew (h.okma) and Greek (sophia). Sirach Sir 4:14 "Those who serve her minister to the Holy One; the Lord loves those who love her. Sir 4:15 Those who obey her will judge the nations, and all who listen to her will live secure." Both occupations described, the priest and judge, belong to men in second century Palestine. Wisdom is also the mother whom teaches her sons how to prosper (Clifford 326). We must keep in mind that Ben Sira views the Holy Spirit, (Wisdom) in a feminine manner, with all the attributes of a Female, Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, Gal 5:23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Gal 5:24 Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Gal 5:25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Rom 8:1-12 !!!! This is the goal of Ben Sira that we walk by the Spirit!!!!
